New Website of The Society for Old Testament Study (SOTS)

The Society for Old Testament Study (SOTS)

The Society for Old Testament Study (SOTS) is a learned society, based in the British Isles, of professional scholars and others committed to the study of the Old Testament.

Conferences

The details of the Winter and Summer Conferences are published on this website and are sent to members through the post (click here for the upcoming Winter Meeting in Durham). When details of the next conference are available they can be found under conferences. Summaries of papers given at past conferences are also available.

Publications

The Society publishes an annual SOTS Book List (back copies now on sale for a greatly reduced price), and has also sponsored a number of other publications, including the third SOTS Monographs series published by Cambridge University Press. Receiving the SOTS Book List is one benefit of membership of the Society. Among other advantages of membership is access to discounts on books from a number of publishers.

Information

The current President of SOTS is Dr Adrian Curtis.
